Re: Voters say they’re worse off after four years of Obama, so why is Romney struggli
Romney is struggling because he hasn't convinced people that he understands what they are going through or that he has a plan that is actually going to fix their problems. People see him as a very wealthy man who is out-of-touch with average Americans, a little cocky and dismissive of the poor and middle class, and a person who acquired his wealth mostly by cutting jobs or shipping them overseas. Whether any of those views are true or not, that is his problem.
Romney, is struggling because he has demonstrated himself to be Presidentially Incompetent, by not being able to control his own Presidential Campaign and by not having a stable minded approach to what his own Presidential Policies would be if elected. He's essentially run one of the worst Presidential Campaigns in my lifetime, all based on "one liner statements" and little to know substance to support his summary of claims that he's the better candidate.
You hear and read people talking about Romney's "Accomplishments." Yet, those same people won't tell you what Romney, did as the governor of Massachusetts, when that economy finished 47th out of 50th in employment during his term in office. How can you be 47th out of 50 in employment and then attack the other guy for not having a clue about how to create jobs?
He's also said that he's going to repeal ALL of so-called "Obamacare." Yet, he reverses himself and says that he's not going to repeal ALL of "Obamacare," because he likes certain aspects of "Obamacare." How can you say you are going to repeal ALL of something, only to then claim that you are going to keep portions of that very same thing you said you would repeal outright, as the very first thing you'd do once you came into office?
Mitt Romney, said when he was running for the Senate in Massachusetts, that Kennedy, was taking "millions from Special Interest Groups" and that doing so would force Kennedy, to be influenced on the way he would vote. Mitt, then turns right around in this Presidential campaign and accepts millions from some of the exact same Special Interest Groups that he said would "influence the way you vote."
One minute, Mitt Romney, sounds like he's FOR gun ownership - and the next minute, that same Mitt Romney, sounds like he's ANTI gun ownership. You would think that someone as "competent" as Mitt Romney, would know how to make up his mind on Gun Laws, and whether or not the country needs to reel-in the weapons or not. He says one thing while standing in the halls of the NRA, and then says something completely different when standing outside those same halls. To be honest with you, I am totally confused about where Mitt, stands on Guns in America and Gun Laws that regulate their ownership.
Mitt Romney, said that he did not have Lobbyists running his campaign and/or tied to his election efforts. Yet, Mitt Romney's campaign hired and paid Lobbyist Ron Kaufman, to be a Special Advisor to the Mitt Romney Campaign. When pressed about this by a reporter, he denied that Ron Kaufman, was "running his campaign" - which is odd when you consider what a "special advisor" does inside a National Campaign for their employer.
On the one hand, Mitt Romney, tells small groups of Elderly People around the country that he has no intention of re-structuring Social Security. Yet, he stands in front of a group of baseline party supporters of his campaign and tells the crowd that he plans to re-structure Social Security by privatizing it. He says one thing to one group - then says a different thing to a different group altogether.
He says that he's Pro-Choice to one group and then he turns right around and says that he's now Pro-Life. Out of one side of his mouth, he tells Fox News that he's always opposed abortion. But, in prior years and prior debates for other public offices that he sought, he was fairly clear on his support for "safe abortion and the right of the Woman to make her own choice." He said he would honor his "word" in allowing a Woman's Right to Chose. He's flipped on Pro-Life -vs- Pro-Choice so many times over his political career, that I honestly don't know where he stands on the issue.
He said that our automotive industry should be allowed to go bankrupt. He said the bailouts were a mistake. Yet, in 2008, he was caught saying that the government has a role in preventing further economic decay by utilizing stimulus and that he thought what President Obama did with respect to TARP II and stimulus, was "the right thing to do." Again, I get dizzy just listening to the man talk because he spins and reverses his own policy statements more than a merry-go-round at the Circus.
Romney, said that he wants to get government out of education altogether and then he turns around and says that he supports No Child Left Behind. Again, and again, this man says what he thinks is necessary to get him elected. Romney, says that he's against Cap & Trade. He then turns around later and concludes that we should implement Cap & Trade. But, wait! Romney, flipped that conclusion four (4) times and to this very day, I don't really know whether Romney, believes in Cap & Trade or not.
I can't see how anyone can pin down Romney, long enough on a single issue to understand where he stands on just about anything. So, how can anyone have any opinion about whether or not they would actually vote for him, when you can't say for certain where he stands on the issues? He might be FOR something today at 5:00pm, and then AGAINST that very same thing by 12:00pm two days, or a week from now.
That is NOT leadership on the issues. That is crystal clear Presidential Incompetency. He simply lacks the ability to make a decision and then stick to it. The only thing he has stuck to, has been his willingness to not stick to anything longer than it takes to get him elected.
Will The Real Romney Please Stand Up?
